P.S. Thanks to all who now follow me on Pinterest!
What if I told you that in less than ten minutes, you can make this homemade chocolate fudge pie:
What if I told you that this chocolate fudge pie is…
- Dangerously rich and delicious
- Much healthier than it tastes – and lower in calories!
- Did I mention it only has 6 ingredients?
Warning: If you bring this chocolate pie to parties, people will devour every last chocolatey bite. And then they’ll realize they’re about to choke from gobbling it up so fast they forgot to stop and breathe. Sounds intense… but don’t worry. If you make this, you will never bring it to a party.
You won’t want to share.
The ultimate “does not taste healthy” dessert.
Even my health-food-hating friends like this pie. Actually, I don’t know a single person who doesn’t! If you’re looking for a healthy dessert to bring to a party that does NOT taste healthy, this is the dessert to bring.
Well, maybe this pie and the Deep Dish Cookie Pie.
My friends say it’s a tie. I say this pie wins.
Today is my birthday! Someone suggested I should take the day off from blogging. But that’d be no fun. You know what would be fun? Sharing one of my absolute favorite recipes in the whole wide world!
The Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Pie
The Ultimate Chocolate Fudge Pie
Ingredients
- 12.3 oz silken or firm tofu (I highly recommend Mori-Nu silken-firm for no aftertaste)
- 1 1/2 tsp cocoa powder
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk of choice
- scant 1/8 tsp salt
- 8 to 10 oz chocolate chips (about 1 1/2 cups or more)
- 2-3 tbsp sweetener of choice (If you are used to less-sweet desserts, you can omit)
- optional: extracts, flavorings, or liqueurs
Instructions
Carefully melt the chocolate (either on the stove or in the microwave – google how to melt chocolate), then throw everything into a food processor and blend until super-smooth. Pour into a pie crust if desired. Fridge until chilled. This gets firmer and firmer, the longer it sits. It’s also firmer if you use firm tofu and more like mousse pie if you use silken.
I promise you, everyone will rave about it, and no one will believe it has tofu!!

WHAT.
This looks like French Silk Pie. Does it taste like FS pie? DOES IT KATIE?!!!
If so, you have made my life.
Also, happy happy birthday to a super awesome lady.
*giant hugs*
I love you, Melissa! You are the sweetest!
Also, I am feeling very deprived here… and am about to call my mom up and yell at her for neglecting to ever give me French silk pie when I was younger. What is it? What does it taste like? How on earth have I never had this???! 😉
Oh, and yes your comments are showing up! Can you still not see them? I can see them!! 🙂
Yeah, now I see them!
French Silk Pie is dense and rich and somehow, magically, light and airy and… mousse-y!
And very very chocolate. Very. I haven’t found a good vegan recipe yet. I think there needs to be some air whipped into the tofu mousse to get that light but creamy texture.
I really wish you’d had it before, I’ve got my money on you or Isa being the ones to nail a good version. 😉
Hmmm… like chocolate cream pie? This one is definitely more dense and fudgey. Like biting into a big hunk of melted chocolate. I’ll have to google “french silk pie” and work on it!
Yes.. but less puddinglike than chocolate cream.
It’s more like rich mousse that’s also airy. Ugh. Cannot explain properly.
It’s very much it’s own thing so it’s hard to say it’s like something else.
It has eggs, traditionally, so that adds some lift to the filling. Not as much as a meringue but it has that sort of airy poofiness while still being rich and dense.
It’s magic. I cannot seem to nail that texture, sans eggs.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATIE!!!!!! WAHOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! YAYAYAYAYAY!!!! 25 25 25 25 25 25 !!!! What a big day! Have a great one! I’m sure you will with this pie 😀
I actually had a chocolate banana cream pie for my birthday last year-did not miss cake!
Happy Birthday! I tried your chocolate cake batter smoothie this morning. It was pretty good, more like a chocolate smoothie though, but still delicious! I hope you have a great birthday. I’m with you on the cake thing as well, I like it, but I rather have a cookie cake 😛
Honestly, that one’s not MY personal favorite either… if you want something REALLY rich and chocolatey, try this cake ;).
Happy birthday!!!!
I’m not much of a cake person either – I prefer pie, brownies, cookies or scones…I may or may not have been joking this year when I asked for a b-day cake made out of sweet potato sushi rolls stacked on top of each other (and I might have been slightly disappointed when I actually got…real cake.)
LOL!
Happy birthday!!!
I used to have a cake until I went vegan last August (my b-day is in November). Then last year I got taken out to dinner and bought dessert–uhh…not really the same but oh well lol. Maybe I’ll buy or make my own cake this year–honestly if I make it it will probably be this one!! This looks wonderful and easy to make, and I’m a little health obsessed so I am definitely all over this 🙂 Thankyou so much for sharing!! It’s wonderful.
HAPPY HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! <3 <3 <3 I hope you have a wonderful and thoroughly chocolate covered day, filled with lots of love! 🙂
The tofu part kinda weirds me out. I tried making a peanut butter mousse with tofu once and it just tasted off…perhaps I need to get used to it? It looks amazing though!
No no, I hear you! I have made things with tofu before, where it tastes weird. In fact, if you try to make a chocolate mousse with just cocoa powder (as opposed to the melted chocolate chips), you’ll get that weird aftertaste. I think the chocolate chips mask the tofu taste in this recipe :).
Happy birthday girl! Its crazy how delicious and rich silken tofu gets. I’ve made chocolate mousse with it before… This will be my next thing! Yum yum yum!
I love chocolate and this looks amazing! I would have to keep the tofu a secret from my family as they would prejudge it for sure!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! That cake looks amazing! What a great birthday treat!!
Yes, I love eating cake on my birthday. My mother and I usually buy each other a mini cake from a local bakery we both love (our birthdays are two weeks apart) so we don’t have too much.
Hope you have a fantastic day!
